MEMORIAE AGRIPPINAE. S.P.Q.R.----A funeral carpentum drawn by two mules.----This medal, in large brass, and also a bronze medallion cited by Morrell, bear on the obverse the portrait of Agrippina senior, struck after her death, in exile under the cruel and unjust Tiberius, and remind us of the translation of her ashes from the island of Pandataria, and of all the funeral honours which were decreed to her by the filial piety of Caligula her son, at the seemingly auspicious commencement of his reign.----Suetonius, whose account is confirmed by Dion, adds that the above-named emperor caused annual sacrifices to be instituted to the manes of his mother, together with Circensian celebrations, in which the carpentum was drawn in state procession.
